God with Us: Encountering Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew

Much has been said about why Jesus died. This book focuses on why Jesus lived. God with Us: Encountering Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew shows that Jesus didn’t just come to be our teacher, a miracle work or prophet, or even just Israel’s saviour and redeemer. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. Notable Scripture scholar Edward Sri leads readers on a faithful exploration of Jesus’ kingdom-building mission and how it revealed God presence, which remains with us today. Helpful discussion questions are provided for personal and group study. This newly expanded edition of the study originally titled The Mystery of the Kingdom: On the Gospel of Matthew is an outstanding introduction to the first gospel. Dr. Edward Sri is a theologian, international speaker, and author of several best-selling books, including A Biblical Walk Through the Mass, and Walking With Mary. He is the presenter of several faith formation programs used around the world and the host of the podcast All Things Catholic. He is a co-founder with Curtis Martin of FOCUS where he serves as Vice President of Formation.

Read this book attentively, then, and you’ll come to a deeper love of the people and the religion of Israel, the people and the religion of our Messiah and King.”—Scott Hahn, Bestselling Author of The First Societ
